The Laval Police Service (SPL) confirmed that its Professional Standards Bureau arrested officer Anthony De Melo on the morning of Thursday, September 18.
The accused later appeared before the Court of Québec, facing charges of luring and transmitting sexually explicit material to a person under 16 years old whom he believed to be a minor.
The SPL emphasized that the alleged acts occurred outside of work hours, while the officer was off duty.
According to investigators, the offenses are believed to have taken place in March on Montreal’s South Shore, in the Châteauguay area. The 46-year-old man was reportedly caught by pedophile hunters.
To avoid interfering with the judicial process, the SPL stated that no further information will be released.
